Indices of Deprivation 2019
Background
The English Indices of Deprivation were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in September 2019. The Indices measure relative levels of deprivation in 32,844 Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in England. Each LSOA contains approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households. They are ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 32,844 (least deprived) and assigned to a decile ranging from 1 (most deprived 10%) to 10 (least deprived 10%). Local authorities in England are also ranked from 1 to 317 based on a population weighted average rank or score of the LSOA data.
Relative deprivation is measured using 39 indicators which are grouped across seven different domains:
- Income - the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation relating to low income
- Employment - the proportion of the working age population who would like to work but are unable to do because of unemployment, sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities
- Education, Skills and Training - the lack of attainment and skills in the local population
- Health and Disability - the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health
- Crime - the risk of personal and material victimisation
- Barriers to Housing and Services - the physical and financial accessibility of housing and local services
- Living Environment - the quality of the local environment. This includes an ‘indoors’ (quality of housing) and an ‘outdoors’ (air quality and road traffic accidents) subdomain
Each domain is combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), an overall relative measure of deprivation.
A further 2 supplementary indices of income deprivation are also provided:
- Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index - the proportion of all children aged 0 to 15 living in income deprived families
- Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index - the proportion of all those aged 60 or over who experience income deprivation
Please note that the Indices of Deprivation measure relative deprivation so a change in rank between 2019 and 2015 releases does not necessarily indicate a change in absolute levels of deprivation.
Index of Multiple Deprivation
Trafford is ranked 191st out of 317 local authority districts in England on the average 2019 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) score, where a rank of 1 is the most deprived. Trafford’s relative position has fallen from 201st in 2015. This reflects a general trend in relative deprivation rankings across Greater Manchester where all but 1 local authority districts reported a fall in rank since 2015. However, Trafford remains the least deprived local authority in Greater Manchester.

The proportion of Trafford’s LSOAs ranked in the 1st decile or 10% most deprived in England was 5.1% (7 out of 138) in 2019. This represents a relative increase on 2015 when 2.9% (4 out of 138) of LSOAs were ranked within the 1st decile.
